The Southeast Missourian reports that 20th Century Fox, maker of "Gone Girl," spent nearly $3 million while filming in Missouri last fall. The state issues tax credits to qualified production companies for up to 35 percent of in-state expenditures, part of an effort to promote filming in Missouri. Nathan Nickolaus, general counsel for the department, says tax credits for payroll figures are still being worked out. Filming began in Cape Girardeau in September and finished in October.

The screenings start on Thursday. Many of this year’s films are set in big cities -- like Cairo, Rome and New York. But several works also focus on rural life. " Rich Hill " follows three teenagers growing up in a small Missouri community south of Kansas City. Jessica Oreck’s " The Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga " uses animation and stunning scenes of everyday village life in Eastern Europe to tell the Slavic fairytale of Baba Yaga . The film is shot in Super 16.Hunting for mushrooms and myth in 'The Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga'http://kbia.org/post/hunting-mushrooms-and-myth-vanquishing-witch-baba-yaga

The remote northeast Missouri town of 1,200 residents offers the sort of rural remoteness that brought independent film director Chris Grega to the town square to shoot scenes for his suspense horror film, "Sound of Nothing." The film will premiere July 18 at the Tivoli Theatre in St. Louis as part of the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase. Grega told the Quincy (Ill.) Herald-Whig that he needed a location to portray what he described as a certain vacancy but in a once-flourishing community. He describes the movie as a post-apocalyptic father-daughter story. Grega shot most of the scenes in the St. Louis area.Edina, Mo. featured in new moviehttp://kbia.org/post/edina-mo-featured-new-movie

Congress is considering a massive overhaul to the nation’s immigration policy, one which could create a path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. That calls to mind the biggest single-site workplace raid in our nation's history that took place five years ago on May 12, 2008 in Postville, Iowa. On that day, hundreds of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided an Agriprocessors Inc. plant, which was then the largest kosher slaughterhouse in the country. Nearly 400 plant workers – most of them undocumented immigrants from Guatemala and Mexico – were arrested. Some 300 were jailed for months before being deported. Filmmaker Luis Argueta made a documentary about the raid and the effect it had on the families of the plant's workers called “AbUSed: The Postville Raid."Field Notes: Marking the fifth anniversary of the Postville, Iowa raidhttp://kbia.org/post/field-notes-marking-fifth-anniversary-postville-iowa-raid

The film, called “ The Moo Man ,” will be screened at this year’s True/False Film Fest in Columbia, Mo. Those who can get a seat to see “The Moo Man” at True/False or in theaters when it's released later this year will be transported to Hook & Son , a dairy that sits in the middle of the lush green marshes of southeast England. During the 97-minute film, the audience learns how its organic raw milk is produced by Steve Hook and his 70 dappled Holstein-Friesian cows. As we follow Hook around the farm, it quickly becomes clear that the job of a dairyman requires plenty of overtime. Hours are spent milking cows, putting the herd out to graze, mopping the milking parlor clean of manure,'The Moo Man' casts light on challenges facing small dairieshttp://kbia.org/post/moo-man-casts-light-challenges-facing-small-dairies
